Questions from a newbie wondering whether to buy

Questions for regular GM's, Do you usually use png's or jpeg's? Can you download a campaign to keep it after use for next time use? What happens if you exceed the capacity of the system (3gb for example)?
Use JPGs if you don't need the transparency, they are smaller.  A campaign remains until you erase it. 3 gigs is a lot of JPGs, sound files will kill you, recycle when not in use. As for buying a subscription. Dynamic Lighting really adds to the visual flavor, Transmogrifier saves a lot of time, and the API is worth the price of admission alone, if you learn to use it and if you want to put in the effort. Learning to use all of that is an effort, probably equal to a College course with math. For casual use the platform performs adequately, like a subway system. For a few bucks you can step up to a banger car, it will get you around, a few more sheckles and you get an adequate vehicle that, with effort, you can turn into a race car. Getting off the bus will require you to learn to drive...
Also, once you buy an adventure on the marketplace, you can create multiple campaigns from that single adventure. But there is "download" option for offline use of the material.

Clarification: Many marketplace artwork purchases can be downloaded: tokens, maps, etc. This is not true of entire adventures (though it could be done with a LOT of manual copy and paste).
My question was about whether or not I could save my own home brew adventure that had my own backgrounds and tokens. I don't think I made that clear on my original post.

Any game you create, whether from a module or completely from scratch can be duplicated. You can make as many duplicates as you wish; they don't really take up storage space. The Copy Game command is found under the Settings drop down menu on your game home page.
Thanks for your answers. I think the answer to my question is - No I can't download my adventures.
